Photos of motive and rolling stock, stations, signals and anything else train related in U.K. & Ireland! Photos should be 800x600 pixels, maximum size 130K. Very good ones will be moved to the Online Gallery, the rest will be pruned away after 14 days to conserve space.

UK - Rail Rover Fire Engine

Post by Kevin Wilson-Smith »

Here is a picture of a Fire Engine adapted for rail use - it is used to support the Severn Railway if fires are started in summer.

Wish that our local fre services could do the same!

When I visited the Gloucester/Warwickshire Railway in UK a couple of years ago I noticed that they had a couple of old fire engines. They were not rail-mounted, just road, but I thought that was also a good solution to the fire risk problem. Railway enthusiasts and fire engine enthusiasts can work together to benefit both of their hobbies!
